Watch out for the big tree down on the downhill just shy of the finish!!! It's pretty big...will need a chain saw to remove.

Thanks for the tip about the downed tree at the end of the A Loop... is that before or after the D Loop connection
Were the downed trees at the "1 and 2-ish" mile marks removed

Conditions on the trail were excellent, althogh the leaves did obscure some roots and rocks in a few areas - nothing out of the ordinary there. There were 4 or 5 isolated areas were there was still mud, but these areas should dry out fairly quickly (all but one were on short uphill sections of the trail, the other was a natural low area with logs). I'd give the trail a 99.5% rideability rating.
We rode all 4 loops, and there was only one tree left that is obstructing the trail. This tree was on the C loop just before the "bowl" area with the switchbacked descent, and then the long switchbacked ascent. There was also one area on the C loop (about a mile in) with a lot of thorny overgrowth - if anyone has some pruners and is riding out there, this could be trimmed back in 10 minutes or so.
